In 2013 the prison was the setting for the film Son of a Gun. The prison has been subject of multiple legal actions due to alleged "inhumane conditions". In 2022, seventeen teenagers were relocated to the maximum security prison prompting a class action. The Department of Justice has defended its actions, while victim advocates have raised concerns around the law firm representing the youth. The Australian Human Rights Commission has raised concerns about the issue of teenagers being held at the prison, prompting calls for further action. (en)
